Visual Designer – Illustration & Motion (12‑month contract)

About the role

We are looking for a Visual Designer, Illustration and Motion on a 12‑month full‑time contract to lead illustration and motion output across our GCX portfolio, primarily consumer banking platforms. The role focuses on illustration as the core craft, with motion as an extension, delivering high‑visibility production for festive campaigns, in‑app surfaces and personalised features.

Key responsibilities

• Lead illustration for festive and campaign work (e.g., Chinese New Year e‑hongbao, National Day) from planning to production‑ready assets, collaborating with stakeholders and product designers.
• Design interactive and motion elements for mobile and desktop app UI, including campaign work and ongoing in‑app moments such as iconography or spot illustrations.

• Maintain visual and brand consistency, partnering with the Standards Designer and occasionally the brand team on shared visual patterns and motion tokens.
• Build reusable illustration, iconography, motion components, templates and a lightweight visual system for future campaigns.

Required profile

• Strong illustration or visual craft with motion ability, able to create original animated work without deep specialization.
• Approximately five years of experience across illustration, motion graphics and digital brand work (portfolio strength matters more than exact years).

• Understanding of performance and file‑size discipline for digital assets.
• Comfortable with fast‑moving, deadline‑driven campaign work, especially festive peaks.
• Ability to contribute to design system and define motion tokens such as easing, duration and choreography.
• Experience using AI tools in ideation and production, reviewing generated assets for IP and brand consistency.
• Adaptable to a regulated banking environment and compliance requirements for customer‑facing content.
